CELTIC have made a big backroom move this week by appointing former Southampton scout Kevin Hammil to the backroom recruiting team.
Football Scotland reports the Hoops have signed the scout who was instrumental in so many of the Southampton/Celtic deals in the past.
Hamill joins the Celtic scouting team that Joe Dudgeon is heading up after moving to Celtic from the City group.
The recruitment under Ange Postecoglou has been praised, and the bhoys are clearly trying to build on their knowledge and talent pool by recruiting experienced staff.
We are a far cry from the days of both Lee Congerton and, latterly, Nick Hammond, who didn’t cover themselves in glory.
The recruitment works because the Celtic manager has a big say in what goes on. He also has the freedom to pinpoint his own signings and bring them in.
It’s a collaborative effort, which hasn’t always been the case at Celtic Park.
Ange’s knowledge of the Japanese game has been paying off in a big way for the bhoys since coming into the club.
